Blue Dot Project is a for-impact organization aiming to bring economic, social, and natural systems back into equilibrium. We support carefully vetted non-governmental organizations (NGOs), startups, and initiatives that protect and enhance our planet’s natural capital through a catalyst fund. Natural capital includes all the resources on Earth that support human life and make it worth living. It includes water, minerals, oil, vegetation, animals and marine life, soil, and air. Blue Dot Project will achieve our goals through three interdependent functions: - Blue Dot Project Systems Research. In partnership with researchers, we use "systems thinking" to deeply understand how our natural capital systems work. Instead of throwing resources at environmental problems that may be merely symptomatic, we aim to identify the fundamental elements that need to change to reach true sustainability. - Blue Dot Capitals. Our investment platform is dedicated to raising funds that will flow directly to the areas of natural capital crucial for systemic change (including reforestation, carbon markets, local economic development, carbon capture, and decentralized and circular systems). - Blue Dot Project Diffusion of Innovations Services. With a nod to the 1962 theory about the process and rate by which new ideas and technology spread, we use everything we've learned to help companies, local communities, and NGOs accelerate the adoption rate of crucial technologies and initiatives.
